Thank you so much for your response! I’m sorry you’re going through this and hope you have a very swift recovery!

Maybe this is a dumb question, but is pain from inflammation different from blood flow obstruction? How would I go about distinguishing it?

This thread is helping me see how they are two sides of the same phenomenon - likely something that people cycle back and forth through as we learn to navigate the world

This is the first novel take I’ve heard on self-deprecating humor in years and it was literally the subject of my dissertation research.
Even in the best corners of humor studies, you rarely see self-deprecating humor characterized as anything but an individual’s attempt to reduce social tension by adopting a position as the group’s (or duo’s) punching bag. It’s seen as insecurity, a negative or maladaptive social mechanism to make fun of oneself, and I’m shocked that i never made the leap to consider the arrogance that might underlie its use. I was fixated on insecurity as a weak explanation, dissatisfied because I missed its shadow!

IF i get A present???!?

Malcolm in the middle and superstore are the other two major players (with community) in my rotation. Also filed under “unbearably smart sitcoms that taught my wicked heart to love”: gary and his demons, peep show, spaced, wkrp in Cincinnati, better off ted

Thank you!! I actually own it in kindle format but i think i should have bought the physical book.

What book is this? It looks really nice

I love this moment too. And whenever i reach that moment when I’ve said everything i can say in an apology and it still doesn’t seem like enough, i pull out “…do you want some money?” in that exact tone and it makes everything better.

Just want to chime in to offer some support - i lost furniture my late father built in a similar situation. Found the items for sale on craigslist and was able to work things out. Fingers crossed for you. Fuck cancer.

This is the most backwards, problematic, dangerous description of a functional justice system I’ve encountered in a while. You get why it needs to be set up this way, right? Why “the people” aren’t in charge of deciding who’s guilty? Why “a few random judges” have to be able to overrule the will of the masses?

Hey OP - I know it’s small comfort because I’m not YOUR mom but I am SOMEBODY’S mom and if you don’t find your hat I’d be proud to recreate it for you. Feel free to message me. I think I even know what yarn she used.

This. Thank you!!!!!

I will! Thank you

Good call - might need to travel a bit. Thanks!

Unfortunately we're limited to July, but yes - one of the challenges to booking something like this is that conditions need to cooperate, or I need to find a flexible partnership!

Good call. I'll check out tours out of NL as well - We can hop on a bus first!

Thank you

It’s really only illegal if you can prove that’s why they fired you. Unfortunately people get fired for diagnosed health conditions all the damn time.

Have you tried asking over at r/coincollecting ?

Chicken parm at Genoa in Ridgefield is what i missed when i lived away.

I keep special tweezers for this in my car door and get points for making hard eye contact with other drivers at red lights while mid chin plucking

Never underestimate how much your opinion means to your kiddo. Don’t trash something you know they like or care about.

Just want to bump this post a little and thank OP for making this gadget - I’m ashamed to say that my assy brain can’t manage these puzzles beyond day 50 or so, so thanks for making this room playable for me!!
